How would the number of mitochondria in an insect's wing compare to the amount found in other cells in an insects body?

Wing is very active organ. So it contains many

∙ 14y agoThere would be more mitochondria in the insects wings because the more active a cell is, the more mitochondria it will have. The insects wings are extremely active (muscle cells) which means the cells in the wings of an insect would have more mitochondria. :)

∙ 13y agoI'm guessing it would be much higher. Flies can fly ~30mi/hr, and I would think flapping their wings would take a lot of energy to sustain that kind of speed. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, supplying energy to the cell-so I would surmise that the wing cells have adapted to produce many more of them.

∙ 14y agomore - because wings require relatively more energy (so that it can fly) in relation to other parts of its body.

∙ 15y agoMitochondria are parts of a cell, not part of a wing.

Name animals which have feelers?
Mostly all insects have feelers. As we know that there are a large amount and types of insects in the world so I can not tell you the exact number.
Organisms with greatest number is it insects rodents single celled bacteria or vertebrates?
Insects
Which method could provide an estimate of the number of insects in a backyard?
n = number of insects in 1 square meter x area of backyard in square meters (apexx)
What is two reason number of insects species may have increased when flowering plants appeared?
With more chances to eat, insects can reproduce more. Another reasons flowering plants helped increased the number of insects is with flowering plants around, insects can remain in an safer environment than if they were in the woods. With a safe environment, less insects are killed by predators, causing their population to increase over time.
What are the most dangerous insects?
no. mosquitos are the number one dangerous insect. flies are number two.
How would the number of mitochondria in an insects wing compare to the amount found in other cells in an insect's body?
Their wings hold more active cells (muscle cells).
What would a tissue that requires a large amount of energy would have a greater number of?
mitochondria
Which cell has largest number of mitochondria?
Muscle cells have the largest number of mitochondria.
Why does the number of mitochondria increase in muscle fibers with exercise?
the cells rapidly increase with exercise, therefore creating more mitochondria. the mitochondria is also related to metabolism and more mitochondria your body makes during exercise, the faster your metabolism gets. lime and pickle juice are actually great catalysts to double your amount of mitochondria
What is the average number of mitochondria in human sperm?
there is no specific number or amount of mitochondria it varies dependent on your age and gender. however they can be increase through training of the muscles especially strength training the most common form of this is free weights.
What is a characteristic of body cells that require large amount of energy?
they have a large number of mitochondriaby PNG fans
What type of body cell would most likely have the greatest number of mitochondria?
You'll find more mitochondria in a animal cell because we produce energy through our mitochondria's. Plants make energy through there cell wall. We need more mitochondria's to make energy.
What are 3 pieces of data that you can compare from the summer Olympics?
Amount of metals, speeds, and the number of races won.
How would you expect the number of mitochondria in a cell to be related to the amount of active transport it carries out?
Well, I suppose that since mitochondria are the the main production centers of ATP and Active Transport requires ATP, that these two are directly proportional. The more mitochondria a cell has, the more ATP it can make, and the more it can do Active Transport
Does a spermcell contain mitochondria?
A large number of mitochondria power the flagella of sperm cells.
Which factor most likely has the greatest effect on number of molecules mitochondria can produce?
The amount of energy the flow H+ ions have EDIT: The speed of the H+ ions
What kind of cells might have a high number of mitochondria?
Muscle cellMetabolically very active cells have many mitochondria. Cardiac cells,kidney cells,sperms have many mitochondria
